This is how flawed Challenge 4 is:
The Dragon has a minimum range, under which it cannot fire. Your Sword also has this minimum range. So for the Sword to engage the Dragon, it is also vulnerable to the Dragon's attacks. When you use the Shield to distract the Dragon, it often wanders into the Dragon's minimum range, at which point the Dragon switches to the next target it can engage within its range, which happens to be the Sword.
In other words, the very act of using Shield to distract the Dragon often leads to the Dragon deciding to concentrate on Sword instead.
Did the game designer actually tested the maps before releasing it?

needs controls and a quit button
and i should have won level 4 i only had to hit 1 time but my robot didnt atack and died

i pretty much hate this game, my bots just do whatever it takes to be destroyed and they always miss and the opponent never misses
IMPOSSIBLE AND ANNOYING

The career mode is fun because you can just build up super robots and overpower the enemies. The challenge mode is incredibly frustrating because you are hampered by poor robot AI. It became a battle of fighting the game design at this point.

the compter ai is better than yours so if you have better stuff sometimes you still lose team 1
2 guns both the same team 2 to gun same as team one and one bot has weaker armor= oh shit i lost but my stuff was better

Good mid-late game strat (when you get 95+ max team weight): build 2 cheap healers (30 max weight chasis with a 8-9w shield and the 10w heal component) to heal each other and your damage dealer (try to keep it upgraded specially the weapon).

This game is just awful. The controls don't work. I tell it to go left, and it turns right and goes to hide in the corner. the ability to click on a bot is not that responsive, and then when I do click it the tank won't respond, or just does the opposite, and maybe if it gets around to it, it will go in the correct direction at the worst opportune time. This just reminds me of when I tried to write the code for Robocup, only to have the program act differently every time I loaded it up

Well everyone is right SUCKY CONTROLS = VERY BAD GAME = NO FUN. (scratches head and wonders why kongregate even allows such games on there website. If you need a
QC guy call me :)

i could've won an account decisive fight (just barely enough to participate) several times if the robot wouldn't drive suddenly into a wall when "closing in" on an enemy.
in other words: THE AI IS CRAP!

It doesn't matter whatever command you give, follow or move, the bots are determined to have their own way. Lost the challenge 4 with only one shot remaining twice... just because the sword decided to have a loo break. By the time it had returned to where the shield was, the shield was shot.

(I get first badge)
oh ya I think I might try gettting the second two
(get 2nd)
I'm on a streak I'm going for all of them
(get to challenge 4)
WHAT THE HELL THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE LUCK NOT DISTRACTION

I like this game reminds me of robot wars or what ever that show was called. I would like the ability to change AI's though like have an aggressive and passive AI's so they charge in or try and stay away. Also a move speed might add more strategy so a low armored guys could out flank low range powerful weapons. Also for challenge 4 I had my shield chase him and kept my sword away until the dragon ran from my shield and shot at him then I would stay slightly farther away from him then my shield and would move away again before my shield got next to him where he could not hit it.

the 'following' key is very useful for all lvl, make sure bot C follow bot B, bot B follow bot A, so that u juz nid to control bot A go around a circle.. Even chllg 4 also use shield follow sword.

THIS GAMES SUCKS I HATE THE CHALLENGES ITS A WASTE OF TIME I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME AND SHOULD NOT BE ON KONGREGATE GAME AS IT HAS A NEGATIVE REPUTATION.

Everytime when Sword dies first in Challenge 4, I spend 3 minutes of my life trying to kill Shield so I can restart the challenge.
Goddammit.

When I am constantly making all of the right moves but I lose because the bots do not follow my directions in a consistent manner that is not a game. It's a fancy pair of dice that you have to roll a hundred times to finish a few of the challenges. In what possible way did this improve on Bot Arena 2?

The Evasion challenge is bloody annoying. The enemy bots are faster than mine and I gotta outrun them for more than 15 min. WTH? Stupid level design!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The AI is horrible. Even if I try to send them to follow someone the take two minutes running into a wall turning in one direction before they they are shot to death by the opponents bots.

I think when they were programming the controls they got high, passed out, then woke up and realized they had a game due.

I have waited far too long for badges here, so thank the Lord for this gift. P.S Err... This makes me want to study mechanics, engineering, and lasers.

Average game at best. AI really needs to be tweaked if you ask me. Good concept and reminds me a lot of the Battle Bots from a long time ago and I really liked it. Fix the AI and the controls and this would be a great game. 3/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
If you're not going to put controls, at least put a speed up button because my robot has been running in circles like a pansy for about 10 minutes now. Other than that 5/5
